artist known
There are thousands of very, very talented artists who will never be known, even after they are dead.
country art college
I've never claimed that this is investment art. When we first started out, all the art colleges and universities across the country would sort of badmouth what we were doing.

Tender as a mothers love... And with my mother, that was certainly true.
